The buds are swelling nicely, are full of THC and smells very intense like candy. I cant wait to see the end product!

Im not typing, I made you a video

Wow she's doing great this week. Grew another 20cm. Totally out of headroom now. She's going to yield a lot in a few weeks 😎

I had to harvest by layers due to height of the plant, so the harvest took time from day 88 to day 115, but the outcome was for sure worth it. This was may first indoor grow and presumably last for some time, but I took some great notes nevertheless. :) I would like to thank fast buds for providing me with this great genetics. I will for sure try some next next when the opportunity rises.

The Bubble OG plants are looking awesome! My tallest one is stacking up with super dense buds. It's crazy to think that the other one is almost ready to chop – the colors are so vibrant. And then there's that short and squat one with the purple leaves. It's definitely the oddball of the bunch, but I kind of like it. The past few weeks have been so beautiful, watching the plants grow and change. It's amazing how something so small and fragile can turn into something so strong and vibrant. Now that they're getting ready to bloom, it feels a little bittersweet. I'm so excited to see the finished product, but I'll definitely miss having them around while they're growing.

Greetings from Russia to my comrades! I was busy with work for a long time and could not deal with my diaries. Now I'm free and ready to devote every day to my plants. I have a lot of plans. My mom is coming to the end of 6 weeks. She feels great and cheerful, develops well, visible progress. While I do not train him, and give him free growth. I gave my plants the enzymes, together with the chief stimulator and the main force, Then I fed the plant folic acids under the root and on the leaves. Soon I will make my girl an intimate haircut. And in a few weeks, I'll be making the third tier of the pot.

Hello all! I am finally back online and so here is a proper update for the Queen! Citronella has suffered terribly during the house move and following weeks, a few days ago I took her lower third off and defoliated and removed underdeveloped nodes. I dried the popcorn I took off during this process and got 12g (dry). The rest I am leaving on her and hoping and praying those buds swell. The smell is absolutely the greatest thing ever, she is stunningly pungent - even the quick dried popcorn is really beautiful to smoke - so whatever I get from her, whatever little it will be, I will certainly enjoy. Anyway she is now being taken care of a bit more regularly and properly and moving forward until harvest I expect this to continue. Day 109: Fertigated 10l Day 111: The queen is maturing, but I am not sure her buds are going to get much fatter at this point. She is already struggling to hold them up, they must be really dense if they are so heavy this small. I am really at a disappointed stage with this grow, and I must do better next time I grow this strain. I am not impressed with this LED light, I think I need to grow a full tent under my better light and see how they do. Anyway she is trundling along and I don't think too far from the inevitably disappointing harvest.

Had to change the solution at day 4 because the Ph went up to 6.8 and I still don’t know why. And yes, I see… I need to learn how to make better photos. Got the info nearly every time when I upload. Ok.. ok.. :D

4week

Listen, when things are going great it feels weird! I'm following my feed chart and watching these beauties unfold! They are starting to smell rich and sparkles are starting to show!!!! I always fret over my babies but really they seem to be killing the game right now! Stay tuned....... On a side note i'm enjoying the hell outta learning to edit pics in adobe illustrator!!! __________________________________________________________________ Bit too much Nitrogen and they want MORE cal-mag! Check out my video! Things are going great! I even think I did a good job defoliating! __________________________________________________________________ Glory Glory to mother nature! A grow gone right is a site to behold!!!!! I look upon my ladies with giddy glee!!! only problem is i'm a bit outta space in the canopy, but thats the best problem to have!!!! Just waiting on the buds to get swoll!!

Buds are starting to fatten up, I guess harvest is gonna be in 2 weeks, maybe longer. Problem is that I have to harvest them all at once because I have to dry them in the growbox. ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▌My setup: ▌Growbox: Secret Jardin Hydro Shoot 80 ▌Lights: Selfmade 184W LED Panel w/ Samsung Q-Series Strips ▌Ventilation: Ventilution Mixed In-Line 145/187m³/h ▌Fan: Taifun FT-18 oscillating fan ▌Heating fan: Trotec TFC 1 E ▌Substrate: 50% BioBizz All-Mix & 50% Perlite (& BioTabs Starterbox) ▌Nutrients: BioTabs Starterbox & tapwater ▌Irrigation: AutoPot 4Pot System ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄

Shes looking beautiful 🌸💕

Start of flowering week 1. This girl is already bigger then her round 1 sister and she's starting to stretch after just a few days of 12/12 light. The only nutrient difference this grow, will be the addition of sensizym, hopefully it helps pack on a few more grams per plant.

Welcome to week 8 of my Strawberry Cheesecake diary from seedsman! At this phase in her growth there really isn't much left for me to do but water her and maintain the soil a bit for the next month. I ended giving her some good homemade sprouted barley and LABS, so I'm sure she's lovin life right now and her flowers are looking amazing! She smells strong of fruity skunk facts, so thats interesting 😆. I love it. We can see a bunch of trichomes coming in and some of her pistols are turning a very nice neon orange color. The only thing that concerns me is some spots on her leaves that could possibly be rust, so I gave her a very light foliar spray of baking soda just in case. I've also started adding quillaja to her water to help with saponin content.

I think that this is as good as they're gonna get. Gonna pull them both down and start a fresh one trying to keep it cooler cos mid 30s everyday is not good. Learned a lot this time, hopefully much better next time! Also took the top off the stardawg last weekend, should almost be smokable now!!

💜 Purple CousKush Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 10 🌿 No Complaints. Just Beautiful Progress. Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And honestly... Purple CousKush Pheno A is making this one very easy. No drama. No complaints. No major intervention. No need for me to stand there wondering what the hell she's doing. She's simply... doing her thing. 😂💜 And she's doing it beautifully. The longer this adventure continues, the more interesting it becomes to watch the different personalities emerge. Because although almost every plant in the room is sharing essentially the same environment, they're certainly not moving at exactly the same rhythm. Some are faster. Some are slower. A couple are giving me a little more to think about. But the majority? They're just getting on with it. And Purple CousKush Pheno A is very much part of that group. She's moving. She's developing. She's building some beautiful flowers. And she's doing it without asking me for much attention. Honestly? I love that. 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure — Different Rhythms, Same Stage For anyone joining the diary now, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. This project is all about watching different genetics and phenotypes develop while giving them the same general opportunity. Same room. Same 12/12 lighting strategy. Same environmental philosophy. Same irrigation system. Same general nutrition. Same lighting ecosystem. Same grower. And yet... the results are different. That's the experiment. The environment gives everybody the stage. The genetics decide how each plant performs on it. And right now, I'm finding it fascinating because the room has reached that point where most of the girls are moving quite quickly. They're no longer asking: "What am I going to become?" They're increasingly showing us: "This is who I am." And Purple CousKush Pheno A is becoming very easy to recognize. 💜 She's Just Getting On With It I think that's probably the simplest way to describe this week. She's not demanding anything special from me. She's not creating problems. She's not requiring another round of major training. She's not asking to be redesigned. She's just continuing forward. And sometimes those are my favourite weeks in a grow. Because there isn't always a problem that needs solving. Sometimes you get to stand there, look at the plant and say: "Yep. That's looking fucking good." 😂💜 Then you take the photographs. You admire the flowers. You check everything. And you let her continue. That's exactly where Purple CousKush is right now. 🌸 Beautiful Bud Formation The flowers are becoming one of the main reasons I keep stopping to look at her. The bud formation is really nice. The flowering sites are becoming more established, the structures are gaining definition, and the individual flowers are beginning to look increasingly substantial. She's moving beyond those early flowering formations now. This is becoming a proper flowering plant. And I really like the architecture she's building. There is a nice relationship between the branches and the flowers. Nothing looks excessively stretched. Nothing feels chaotic. The plant has enough vertical structure to give her presence without becoming one of those enormous plants that takes over half the room. And that's actually something I've noticed throughout this run. I don't really have any true monsters. They're mostly somewhere around that comfortable middle ground. And honestly? I'm loving it. 🌿 The Average-Sized Girls Are Winning Me Over Purple CousKush Pheno A is around 125 cm, which puts her firmly into that middle ground for this run. She's not a dwarf. She's not a giant. She's simply... average-sized. 😂 And apparently that's where my plants decided they wanted to live this time. I don't have many extremely tall plants dominating the tent. Instead, I have a room full of plants with different personalities expressed through their structure, density, flower formation, colour and development rather than simply height. And I really like that. Because when you're running twelve different plants together, it makes the comparison much more interesting. If one plant were three metres tall and everything else was tiny, the difference would be obvious. But when they're all living within somewhat similar physical dimensions... you start paying attention to the details. And Purple CousKush has some very nice details. ✨ Glamorous Girl There's something glamorous about this phenotype. I don't know exactly how else to describe it. She's not necessarily screaming for attention. But when I look at the photographs... she has presence. The flowers are elegant. The structure is balanced. The foliage is beautiful. And there's something about the way the flowering sites sit throughout the plant that makes her look particularly polished. She's one of those plants that doesn't need to be enormous to look impressive. She just... looks good. And sometimes that's enough. 💜🌿✨ 🌿 Those Beautiful Greens The deep green foliage is still one of the characteristics I really appreciate. She's carrying that rich green appearance that I've been enjoying throughout her flowering development. And now, with the flowers becoming more pronounced, the contrast is even more interesting. Deep green leaves surrounding developing flowers. The lighter flowering structures standing out against the foliage. More detail appearing every week. The whole plant is becoming increasingly photogenic. And I have to say... I really like photographing her. There's enough structure to work with. She's not so enormous that I need to fight the plant to get the camera where I want it. And she's not so tiny that everything disappears into one little cluster. She's sitting in that sweet spot. A very cooperative photographic subject. 😂📸 ✂️ No Need to Touch Her And once again... no scissors. 😂 We've already done the necessary work earlier in flower. The canopy has been managed. The plant has been given room where it needed it. And now? I'm leaving her alone. This is something that becomes more obvious as the grow progresses. Early on, there can be a temptation to keep doing things. Train this. Move that. Remove this. Adjust that. But eventually you reach a point where the plant has built the architecture it's going to use. And then your job becomes much simpler. Observe. Maintain. Provide. And let the plant finish. Purple CousKush is very clearly telling me: "I've got this." And I'm happy to believe her. 💡 Still Eating Photons The lighting environment remains consistent with the rest of the 8×8 Adventure. The Future of Grow Black Series LED continues providing the primary overhead illumination, with Lumiflora contributing additional light beneath the canopy. At this point, I'm less interested in telling you what I think the light is doing and more interested in watching what the plants actually show us. And Purple CousKush is showing us a plant that is continuing to build. Leaves are working. Flowers are developing. Structure is holding. The plant is progressing. That's the evidence I care about. Give her the environment. Give her the photons. And then... let her tell us what her genetics decided to do with them. 🌸 The Flowers Are Becoming the Main Event This is the really exciting part now. The plant's structure has already been established. Now we're watching the flowers increasingly become the stars. The buds are gaining definition. The flowering sites are becoming more substantial. The pistils remain visible throughout the developing flowers. And the overall structure is beginning to look much more like the finished plant we're eventually going to harvest. Eventually. Not yet. 😂 There's still plenty of time for these flowers to change. And that's exactly what I'm enjoying. Every week now should bring another little transformation. More density. More maturity. More resin. More character. And eventually... the final version of Purple CousKush Pheno A will reveal herself. We're just not there yet. 🔬 Another Great Example of Phenotype Expression This girl is also another nice reminder of why I wanted the 8×8 Adventure to contain so many different plants. Even within the same general environment, each one develops its own personality. Purple CousKush Pheno A is showing us a phenotype that's: Balanced. Medium-sized. Beautifully structured. Deep green. Flower-focused. Easy to manage. And increasingly... glamorous. 😂💜 There are other girls in this room with completely different stories. Some are much smaller. Some are more compact. Some have different flower structures. Some are more unusual. And that's what makes looking across the whole garden so much fun. The environment stays relatively predictable. The plants don't. 💧 Feeding & Environment The current recorded conditions remain: 🌸 Flowering: Week 10 📏 Height: 125 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29.9°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC/TDS: ~2.0 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💦 Watering: approximately 1.3 L per plant / 24h The overall nutrition and irrigation strategy remains consistent. No reason to make dramatic changes. She's progressing. She's flowering. She's healthy-looking. So we keep providing the environment and let her continue doing what she's already doing well. 🌬️ A Comfortable Plant Is a Beautiful Plant There's something I've really come to appreciate during this run. When a plant is comfortable, you can see it. You don't necessarily need a complicated explanation. You look at the foliage. You look at the structure. You look at the flowers. You look at the general posture of the plant. And sometimes everything simply says: "I'm good." That's Purple CousKush right now. She's not fighting. She's not demanding. She's not giving me a reason to interfere. She's just progressing. And when I see that... my job becomes incredibly simple. Keep providing. 📸 This Week's Gallery I think the photographs this week really capture what I'm talking about. The full-plant photographs show her overall architecture. The closer shots reveal the flowers. And when you get even closer... the details start becoming the story. The flowering structures. The pistils. The developing resin. The textures. The way the flowers are sitting within the surrounding foliage. That's one of the reasons I enjoy documenting individual plants instead of simply photographing the entire room. A full-room photograph tells you: "Look at the garden." An individual photograph tells you: "Look at this plant." And Purple CousKush Pheno A deserves that second look. 💜 No Drama Is a Good Story Too I think growers sometimes feel like every diary update needs some huge event. A problem. A discovery. A major intervention. A dramatic change. But honestly? Some of the best updates are: Nothing went wrong. 😂 The plant grew. The flowers developed. The environment remained stable. The plant looked beautiful. And we moved forward another week. That's a successful week. And Purple CousKush gave me exactly that. No complaints. No drama. Just progress. 🔭 Looking Ahead And now I'm curious about the next stage. The flowers are developing beautifully. The structure is looking very good. The plant is holding herself nicely. And the overall appearance is becoming increasingly mature. So now... we wait. I want to see how much more those flowers develop. How much more density they gain. How the resin progresses. How the pistils change. And eventually, what kind of final expression this phenotype decides to give us. Maybe she'll surprise me. Maybe she'll simply continue exactly as she is. Either way... I'm enjoying the journey. And that's the important part. ❤️ Final Thoughts — Let Her Shine Week 10. And Purple CousKush Pheno A is still giving me absolutely nothing to complain about. She's simply moving. And she's moving beautifully. The flowers are developing. The structure is looking great. The foliage remains deep and healthy-looking. She's around 125 cm, which makes her one of those comfortably average-sized girls in a run where I apparently decided that enormous plants weren't invited. 😂 And honestly? I'm perfectly happy with that. Because I'm discovering that I don't need every plant to be huge. I don't need every plant to stretch into the ceiling. I don't need every phenotype to dominate the room. What I want is exactly what I'm seeing here: a beautiful plant doing what her genetics tell her to do. And Purple CousKush Pheno A is doing that extremely well. She's glamorous. She's balanced. She's flowering beautifully. She's easy to manage. She's not demanding. She's not creating drama. She's just... being Purple CousKush. 💜🌿✨ And that's more than enough. So let's keep doing what we're doing. We provide. We observe. We photograph. We learn. And most importantly... we let her shine. Because sometimes the best plants aren't the ones that make you work the hardest. Sometimes they're the ones that quietly do everything right... and give you the pleasure of simply watching them become beautiful. Purple CousKush Pheno A? That's her. No complaints. No drama. Just beautiful progress. 💜🌸✨ 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for these beautiful Purple CousKush genetics and for giving us another fascinating phenotype to follow through the 8×8 Adventure. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutrition throughout this journey. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for the Black Series lighting driving the garden. Thank you to Lumiflora for bringing the under-canopy lighting dimension into the experiment. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment under control behind the scenes. And, of course, thank you to everyone following this crazy experiment on GrowDiaries. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every week you come back and look at these girls with me... it all adds another little piece to the story. And this week, Purple CousKush Pheno A has a wonderfully simple one. She's growing. She's flowering. She's developing. She's looking glamorous. And she's not giving me anything to complain about. 😂💜 So let's leave her exactly where she wants to be. In her own rhythm. In her own space. Doing her own thing. Building those beautiful flowers. And showing us what this particular phenotype decided to become. No drama. No complaints. Just beautiful progress. 💜🌿✨ Until next week... Keep doing your thing, Purple CousKush. I'll be watching. Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚💜
